the present disclosure.
Embodiment 1
[0025] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 for an automobile Bluetooth
receiver in accordance with the first embodiment of this
disclosure, the automobile Bluetooth receiver comprises a Bluetooth
receiver 10, and an automobile charger 20 for plugging the
Bluetooth receiver 10 therein; and the Bluetooth receiver 10
comprises a receiver housing (101,102,103) having an accommodating
space formed therein, a Bluetooth receiver module and a
rechargeable battery 120 installed in the receiver housing
(101,102,103), a switch 140 installed on the receiver housing
(101,102,103), and a first magnetic component 130 and a plug 150
installed at the bottom of the receiver housing (101,102,103),
wherein the rechargeable battery 120 is electrically coupled to the
Bluetooth receiver module, and the plug 150 is electrically coupled
to the Bluetooth receiver module and the rechargeable battery
120.
[0026] The automobile charger 20 comprises an automobile charger
housing (201,202) having an accommodating space formed therein, a
PCB 220 with a charging circuit installed in the automobile charger
housing (201,202), and a second magnetic component installed in an
automobile charger housing (201,202) and attachable to the first
magnetic component 130. The automobile charger housing (201,202)
has a plug hole 204 formed thereon and disposed proximate to a side
of the receiver housing (101,102,103) for receiving the plug 150,
and the plug 150 is plugged into the plug hole 204 and electrically
coupled to the PCB 220.
[0027] Compared with the conventional wired charging, this
disclosure adopts a wireless separate plug for the charging, so as
to make the charging process simpler and more convenient method and
provide a convenient application. The issues of the Bluetooth
receiver 10 and the automobile charger 20 being vibrated or shaken
easily during the process of charging and two structures being
dislocated easily to cause a low reliability of charging are taken
into consideration, so that this disclosure has a first magnetic
component 130 installed on the Bluetooth receiver 10 and a second
magnetic component installed on the automobile charger 20, and the
first and second magnetic components are magnetically attracted to
each other to improve the reliability of the charging by the
Bluetooth receiver 10 and the automobile charger 20.
[0028] The technical solution of this disclosure comprises a
Bluetooth receiver 10, and an automobile charger 20 for plugging
the Bluetooth receiver 10 therein. When the Bluetooth receiver 10
is detached, the Bluetooth receiver 10 may be plugged and connected
directly to an output device without the Bluetooth function, so
that the output device has the Bluetooth function to achieve the
effects of listening music and making hand-free telephones. When
both of the Bluetooth receiver and the automobile charger are
plugged, a wireless charging can be accomplished. During the
charging process, both of the Bluetooth receiver and the automobile
charger can be positioned more securely by a magnetic effect, so as
to achieve a reliable charging effect and a convenient use.
[0029] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 for an embodiment of this
disclosure, the plug 150 is disposed at the middle of the bottom of
the receiver housing (101,102,103), and the first magnetic
component 130 is disposed on both sides of the plug 150. Further,
the first magnetic component 130 includes two magnetic columns
protruded from the bottom of the receiver housing (101,102,103),
and the second magnetic component is disposed at the bottom of the
plug hole 204.
[0030] In this preferred embodiment, the plug 150 may be designed
at the middle of the bottom of the receiver housing (101,102,103)
to facilitate its configuration corresponding to the plug hole 204
of the automobile charger top casing. Of course, the plug 150 may
also be designed at a position near the middle of the bottom of the
receiver housing (101,102,103), so that the position of the plug
hole 204 of the automobile charger housing (201,202) is
corresponding to the position of the plug 150. To consider the
fixation and appearance, the plug 150 is preferably designed at the
middle of the bottom of the receiver housing (101,102,103).
[0031] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 for an embodiment of this
disclosure, the plug hole 204 has a diameter decreasing gradually
in a direction towards the interior of the automobile charger
housing (201,202), and the plug hole 204 has a stair formed on the
inner wall of the plug hole 204.
[0032] In this embodiment, the wall of the plug hole 204 is
substantially in an arc shape, and the hole is tapered from the
outside to the inside, so that the plug 150 can be plugged easily.
The stair in the plug hole 204 is provided for abutting the plug
150 when an end of the plug 150 is inserted. In an embodiment, the
plug 150 is a DC3.5 plug connector.
Embodiment 2
[0033] With reference FIGS. 1 and 2 for an embodiment of this
disclosure, the receiver housing (101,102,103) comprises a
cylindrical body 102 with two end openings, a top casing 101 and a
bottom casing 103, disposed at both ends of the cylindrical body
102 respectively, wherein the top casing 101 has a snap claw 104
extending towards a side of the bottom casing 103, and the bottom
casing 103 has a snap hole 105 configured to be corresponding to
the snap claw 104.
[0034] In this embodiment, the corners of the bottom casing 103 are
formed into limiting columns, and these four limiting columns are
capable of limiting the position of the rechargeable battery 120.
To facilitate the assembling process, the top casing 101 and the
bottom casing 103 are fixed by a snap-in structure. However, this
disclosure is not just limited to this embodiment only, but any
other arrangement such as latching, insertion, screw-connection may
be used instead.
[0035] In an embodiment, the top casing 101 has a through hole
formed thereon, and the switch 140 is partially exposed from the
through hole.
[0036] In this embodiment, an end of the switch 140 is exposed from
the top casing 101, so that users may press the switch 140 easily.
To improve the waterproof function of the top casing 101, a soft
part may be installed at the position of the top casing 101
corresponding to the switch 140, so that when the switch 140 is
pressed, the soft part can be bent to reach the position of the
switch 140.
[0037] In an embodiment, a pad 160 is installed between the top
casing 101 and the rechargeable battery 120. The pad 160 is
provided for preventing the rechargeable battery 120 from touching
the top casing 101 directly and buffering the direct impact of the
top casing 101 to the rechargeable battery 120 to protect the
rechargeable battery 120.
Embodiment 3
[0038] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 for an embodiment of this
disclosure, the automobile charger housing (201,202) comprises an
automobile charger chassis 202 with an end opening, and an
automobile charger top casing 201 covered onto the automobile
charger chassis 202, and the automobile charger top casing 201 has
a snap claw 205 formed on a side thereof and disposed proximate to
the PCB 220, and the PCB 220 has a snap position configured to be
corresponding to the snap claw 205 for snapping the snap claw 205
to the snap position.
[0039] In this embodiment, the automobile charger housing
(201,202), the automobile charger chassis 202, and the automobile
charger top casing 201 are fixed by a snap-in structure. However,
this disclosure is not just limited to this embodiment only, but
any other arrangement such as latching, insertion, screw-connection
may be used instead.
[0040] In an embodiment, the PCB 220 has at least one charging
interface 221, and the automobile charger chassis 202 has a hole
element 203 exposed from the charging interface 221. To improve the
expandability, the automobile Bluetooth receiver 10 may be charged
by an external smart device through the charging interface 221, so
as to reduce the quantity of the charging interfaces 221.
[0041] While the disclosure has been described by means of specific
embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made
thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the
scope and spirit of the disclosure set forth in the claims.
